Chan 5 at 21:00 today Friday the 24th July it is being shown as a converted luxury Hotel.

[Stephen]

Same here.

There's some good viewing on TV tonight for a change.

[Teepers]

If you are looking for something to fill the massive gap GOT leaves you might like to watch "Outlander"........you'll be hooked after the first episode.

I love Outlander. I’m recording the series currently on More 4 (series 4, I think), so I can binge watch.

I got Netflix at the end of last year, so we watch quite a few things on there. We are currently on series 4 of The Last Kingdom, which is set in the time of Alfred the Great. It’s worthy as a Game of Thrones replacement. It’s very bloody, no wonder people didn’t live very long in those days.



Hi Gill…. I didn’t know I had so many emotions inside me until I watched “Outlander” it’s brought out all of them at one point or another…none more so than episode 12 season 5 “Never so my Love” which had me needing a tissue…I’ll say no more other than to say I can’t wait for series 6

Wow I too love Outlander and have been a huge fan of the books since the first one came out in ‘91. For some reason it was called Crosstitch... The name was then changed to outlander for the American market. I don’t know anyone else who watches it.

I am just waiting for book9 to be published

I am just waiting for book9 to be published

I've read the first three books, and keep meaning to download the next one. But they are long books, and for some reason I haven't been reading very much since lockdown begun, so haven't got round to it just yet

Just in time for it to close for lockdown, with rumours they'll use that as an excuse for it to never re-open!

Too much money has been spent on it for that to happen ... with all that oil they can afford to wait

Hi Teepers…. I didn’t know it was originally called ‘Cross Stitch’ and like you can’t equate that name with any resemblance to the theme of the story. That being said, if the books are portrayed as they are in the series, author (Diana Gabaldon) does have something in her writing style that leaves an air of mystery as to how her mind works.

I don’t know about you but I do find some of the scenes uncomfortable watching but the story lines grab you like a vice and keep you going back for more.

Can’t wait for season six but I’m going to do my best not to watch it until the last episode has been screened…I want to watch them all in one go….a week is a lifetime when waiting for the next episode of Outlander.

Watched the QE2 in Dubai last night. Not impressed.

Watched the QE2 in Dubai last night. Not impressed.

For us it was a memory of having seen her in situ in 2012 but also it was of some interest regarding the conversion to a Hotel process. At the end of the program Mobietta and I both agreed to remove the ' Shall we watch the Series link '.

I've been watching "Designated Survivor" with Kiefer Sutherland on Netflix - courtesy of my daughter who has a subscription. It's about what happens when there's a bombing of the Capitol Building in Washington during the President's State of the Nation address. One member of Congress doesn't attend the speech but is secreted away just in case something happens. Kiefer Sutherland is that person, the Housing Secretary I believe is his position within the administration. He suddenly finds that as there are no survivors of the bombing he becomes the President. There are three series of this programme and I thoroughly enjoyed it, a little bit reminiscent of The West Wing. The series is about what happens to the Designated Survivor.

We are enjoying watching 'Killing Eve' at the moment.....quite funny in places but with that killer instinct....If you've watched it you will know what l mean about the killer instinct....The series revolves around a psychopathic assassin.

It should be a good season if it follows the book. They have mixed up the story lines a bit and taken things that happened in book six (Ie Bonnets storyline) and moved them into season 5. More uncomfortable viewing is a certainty but, it should be a brilliant season

Little Fires Everywhere (Amazon)

It took an episode or so to get into it but after that a tad riveting. Whilst an American production it reflects many of the attitudes prevalent in our society

[Kendhni]

If you want a nice little feel good film try 'Pay it forward'

[screwy]

I enjoyed Babylon Berlin.

[Stephen]

We are currently watching re-runs of 'Only When I Laugh' on catch-up.

[Ray Scully]

I enjoyed Babylon Berlin.

Wife suggests I don't watch it Screwy, the steamy bits could be bad for my ticker

[screwy]

I really don’t know what you mean....

[Manoverboard]

Talking of ' Berlin ' ....

BBC4 tonight at 22:00hrs the first of six ' Blackadder Goes Forth ' .... " Last one in Berlin's a rotten egg "

Stephen mentioned Ray Winstone's Sicily and said to use Catch up on My5.

I couldn't locate it so did a ' Search ' on Sky and found episodes 2 and 3 but no mention of episode 1 .... just saying.

I take it you have Freeview.

Go to catchup and choose MY5 Channel.

You will see the two episodes listed at the bottom of the page listings. The one to the right is episode 1. I mention this as I find the print difficult to read due to its size.

I'm surprised you can view episode three as it's not showing on terrestrial tv until next Monday. I guess Sky take priority........but not all of them

SKY gave me the option of selecting and then recording it next Monday, this I did but I also downloaded episode 2.

My TV is far too Smart to use Freeview sans ( Darzet for without ) SKY

So you can't get the first episode with precious Sky, oh dear.....snigger snigger. How common

Anyway, I tried to help you but your obviously beyond help


I must admit I thought episode 2 was only listed the other day on superior Freeview. But, when I clicked on ep2 both episodes became visible. Probably works like that to keep the Sky rif raf out

I haven't yet decided if I even want to watch the first episode ... bet it's about Palermo

Had downloaded ep2 and progged ep3, just checked and SKY have revised it to record ep2 on Saturday morning and to record further episodes automatically ... can't do that on Freeview, oh no
